"Who are you? Are you here to harm Ling Er as well? " The old granny stopped crying and looked at Xiao Chen in anger.
"My name is Xiao Chen, I was just passing by and heard some crying. I came in to see what had happened." Xiao Chen said: "The one on the bed should be her younger sister."
The old granny looked at Xiao Chen, her anger not diminishing in the slightest. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, she looked at her little sister on the bed and realised that her little sister's complexion had improved by a lot.
"Xiao Linger's complexion looks much better now." The grandma said with some joy.
"I fed a detoxification pill to Xiao Linger." Xiao Chen said.
"No wonder." The old granny sighed.
"What do you mean, old man?" Xiao Chen asked in confusion.
"Ling Er probably left after seeing that Xiao Linger was alright." The old granny said, choked with sobs.
"Why is that?"
"You should be a fighter, right?" The old granny did not answer Xiao Chen's question, but asked a question instead.
"Yes."
"Are all warriors a group of cold-blooded and ruthless beasts?" Although his voice was calm, Xiao Chen could feel the resentment and anger he had towards warriors.
It could even be seen that the old granny was about to die.
To them, a martial artist was someone far above them. If she were to anger a martial artist by saying such words, she would only be waiting for death.
"Yes." Xiao Chen said calmly: "The world of warriors is cruel, cold-blooded and heartless, only normal."
"I said you martial artists are animals, you won't kill this old woman?"
"I just want to know why you hate martial artists so much." Xiao Chen asked.
"Since you want to know, then this old woman will tell you."
The old granny caressed Ling Er's skinny face, her eyes full of reminiscence.
"Da Linger and Xiao Linger were originally a pair of sisters. Their parents were also warriors, but after they realized that their daughters could not cultivate, they abandoned them in this slum and went out to adventure on their own.
"They didn't know that they had been abandoned and had been waiting for their parents to return."
"It's also because of this that the two little girls grew up by eating a hundred meals. However, their natures are cheerful, and they became the happy fruits of this area."
"Big sister and little sister have a very good relationship. Big sister took great care of little sister. However, one day, while little sister was playing, she was bitten by a poisonous snake and fell into a coma."
"We were extremely worried and invited the best doctor in the area to treat our sister's poison. Afterwards, the doctor told Da Linger that the poisonous snake that bit onto our sister should be a demon beast, and based on its abilities, it cannot be cured. Only the detoxification pill among warriors can cure it."
"But the warriors' pills are extremely expensive, we commoners simply cannot afford it. After that, Ling Er took out the ancestral object, she said that the ancestral object is something used by warriors, she wanted to see if it could be sold."
"So, it was because of her sister that she was selling ancestral heirlooms on the streets." Xiao Chen thought.
"I never thought that Da Linger would actually sell her ancestral heirloom. She said that a good big brother helped her and gave her twenty thousand gold."
"Ling Er happily bought two detoxification pill from an alchemist named Qi Yuan at a place called Alchemy Guild. She never thought that it would have no effect on Xiao Linger after she fed them to him."
"Logically speaking, even a ninth level detoxification pill should be able to cure the poison." Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
"Later on, the doctor said that the pills he bought were trash pills, and they had no effect at all." The old granny sighed.
"A useless pill?" 's face darkened. As the name implies, a trash pill is a pill that alchemist failed to concoct, which is also a cripple. A pill like this would usually be thrown away or dissolved and then refined again, never sold directly.
It should be easy for a warrior to recognize a useless pill, let alone Qi Yuan who was an Alchemist. Unless the Alchemist was deliberately lying to Ling Er because he was just a commoner who was bullying a commoner, it would be too despicable.
Thinking about it here, Xiao Chen's anger rose up for no reason.
"Ling Er ran over to the Alchemist Guild and found the alchemist Qi Yuan to reason with him. Not only did he not admit it, he even raked in the matter, saying that Ling Er had slandered him and maliciously smeared him. Poor Ling Er was directly beaten up and thrown out."
The grandma's voice was filled with anger and tears.
"For my little sister, Ling Er knelt in front of Alchemy Guild's door and prayed for a pill. However, even after so many people went in and out of Alchemy Guild, no one was willing to lend a helping hand."
"Ling Er knelt for two days and two nights, and the people from the Alchemist Guild only looked at her coldly, scolding her even more for being a toad. As a commoner, she actually wanted to request for a martial artist's pill, and even tried to slander the alchemist.
"However, this was only the beginning of the tragedy. Later on, a group of self-proclaimed fourth young masters found Ling Er and directly took him away. The old granny burst into tears.
Xiao Chen's face became even more gloomy, he naturally knew what this so-called torture meant.
